A bride has been left absolutely appalled after receiving a gift that she described as 'not funny'.
The newlywed was opening wedding presents when she came across a gift from one of her husband's groomsmen, which left her feeling very grossed out.
So much so, in fact, that she felt the need to share the experience to a public Facebook group to seek help, after which the story was re-shared on Reddit.

The thread on the latter site, titled 'Wedding Shaming', details mishaps that happen before, during, or after people's special days, but this one got quite a bit of attention.
A screenshot of the original post was shared along with the caption: "If I had to see this, you all do too."
The US-based bride began: "Posting anonymously because I am literally sitting next to a brown paper bag typing this.

"I just got married over the past weekend and I'm still opening gifts.
"One of my husband's groomsmen - let's call him Fred - has always given me creepy vibes. I just opened the gift he gave to us and literally am besides myself."
'Fred' wrote a message to the happy couple, revealing a bit about the groom's past that the bride didn't really need to know about.
It read: "'To my favourite couple, (husband) was such a gross dude in college. He always left his clipped nails all over the dorm.

"Guess who has been collecting them for eight years, almost as long as you two have been dating?'"
A pretty disgusting thought, but he wouldn't actually send it to them, right? Worse.
He continued, revealing that he added his own toe nails into the mix, and explained that he made a brick out of the collection, with the help of 'concrete glue'.

Fred wrote: "Now, (husband) won't be able to forget the (school name) days with Fred! And (wife's name) will be the only bride in the US that has a fingernail paperweight.
"Hope you guys enjoy the laugh. Happy for you. Congrats."
The bride said that she wished it was a joke, calling it the 'grossest wedding gift' ever, as a single yellow nail fell onto her floor.
She added: "It's not funny, and I honestly don't know what my husband will say.

"Please comfort me? Someone?"
But she wasn't alone, as the comments section of the Reddit post was full of people finding the 'gift' equally as grim.
One user joked: "Not to choose the violent option, but... heave it through Fred's front window?"
Another commented: "This actually made me vomit. That's just nasty."
A third said: "Oh god what a day to have eyes. That's beyond disgusting."
But a different user oddly stated: "I'm disgusted yet want to see more."
That might be up there with one of the most disturbing wedding gifts out there, on some level you may have to respect it.
